+== Device Support ==
+
+Smartmontools work on different operating systems. Due to OS-specific
+issues and also depending on the different state of smartmontools 
+development on the platforms, device support ist not the same  
+for all OS platforms.
+
+==== Supported Devices ====
+[wiki:Supported_RAID-Controllers RAID-Controllers] that work with smartmontools[[BR]]
+[wiki:Supported_USB-Devices USB-Devices] that work with smartmontools[[BR]]
+
+==== Documentation On Device Support ====
+ * [wiki:USB USB devices and smartmontools] - To access SMART functionality, smartmontools must be able to send ATA commands directly to the disk.
+ * [wiki:NAS NAS devices and smartmontools] - Smartmontools can work also on ''Network Attached Storage'' (NAS) devices, if the appropiate functions are available there, e.g. on Dlink DNS-323 with [http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/ fonz firmware]

+== SMART Attributes ==
+''Different vendors, different interpretation..''
+The raw SMART attributes (temperature, power-on lifetime, and so on) are stored in vendor-specific structures. Sometime these are strange. Hitachi disks (at least some of them) store power-on lifetime in minutes, rather than hours. IBM disks (at least some of them) have three temperatures stored in the raw structure, not just one. And so on.[[BR]]
+If you find strange output, or unknown attributes, please look in the below listed pages with vendor specific info.[[BR]]
+When you don't find an answer to your question there, send an email to [http://lists.sourceforge.net/mailman/listinfo/smartmontools-support smartmontools-support] and we'll help you try and figure it out.
